Adventure Holidays in Calgary

A cosmopolitan Alberta city with a booming oil industry, skyscrapers piercing the sky and a booming food and coffee scene, Calgary has historically been famous for its ‘Wild West’ roots. It may ooze Western culture, a feature that earned it the nickname ‘Cowtown’, but in recent years has become a dynamic and engaging city and now much more to the city than its showpiece rodeo. Here you can visit contemporary galleries, mooch around independent shops or sample some of the thriving nightlife and meet the locals. Must-dos include stopping by Canada Olympic Park, which was the cornerstone of the 1988 Winter Olympics, and daring the 500m drop zipline from the Olympic ski-jump tower.
